Quote:It's not as simple as that. Lots of recognised addictions don't involve any 'addictive substances'. Gambling, shopping, stealing, sex, ...Originally Posted by Manofmanychars
Video games do not contain any addictive substance such as nicotine, and thus those that play video games are solely responsible for how much they play. Simple as that, end of story. This isn't heroin we're talking about, it's video games. Stupid, stupid litigious people. Why are they only in America? They're giving us a bad name. -

He's not on my contacts list.
No one but White and Kalinda is.
Did you talk to Marchand at the end of the tutorial mission?
In any case you can find Marchand in the Loyalist lounge in Nova Praetoria. -
Quote:Pain Domination and Empathy are basicly two aspects of the (thematicly) same powerset. 1 evil use, 1 good. Makes perfect sense to me.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
For a reason I find completely unreasonable, they don't want you coloring Pain Domination to look like Empathy.
Cause.
And this is why I don't mind some restrictions. I'm not a real fan 'funny' concepts like this. Yes, I'm boring. Though there are some that are genuinly well done AND make sense.Quote:Originally Posted by Muon_Neutrino
Yeah, I wanted to make a demon/pain MM where everything was a bright, obnoxiously cute pink, but I discovered to my dismay that pain just looks like a muddy reddish-grey if you try that. I would love a 'bright' power option for that set. -
Quote:It's a 15 minute mission ... overreacting much?Originally Posted by Nerfed2Hell
Hey, why not? All the fun has been taken away from my defender since I'm not going to do that mission again and I don't feel remotely interested in playing the character without getting my aura.
Honestly, I don't care how good the new cape mission is... I would rather they just left the old one in place instead of screwing up the way the two missions are acquired with the new one. -
Quote:First try a 'verify all files'. You can find it on your updater. If that doesn't work either contact tech support by email or take it to the tech support forum where players more tech savy than me might tackle the problem.Originally Posted by RobotM
Just bought this game, took forever to update.
Finally it updated, created my character and then when I go to tutorial i get this error
igldev32.dll
Tried it twice now and still get that error when I try to go into tutorial -

Its an annoyance to have to do it again. But hey, since you don't mind... why don't you do it for me?

Fury works? I mean I solo misisons and never rise above 1/4 bar. I thought it was a useless power, like Blaster Defiance.

And this is why I don't bother with super hero comics. They never end, and the rewrites never are better than the original story, let alone bother to make any sense, and it just gets milked till theres nothing of value left.
Edit: oh wait, old thread. Why bother saving this from the purge if posting in it breaks the necro posting rule and gets the thing locked anyway? -
Quote:Consider it like a rad defender without Enhanced metabolism. It'll hardly render you useless, but it'll take a notch out of your desirability on a team.Originally Posted by Lord Mordeth
Much like with my Bane, i got to poking my Widow and after tweaking her build i noticed i don't really need Mind Link, as found my defenses to be capped (melee, ranged, aoe) without it, thus rendering it kinda useless.
Now, i'm fully aware how awesome the power is, but the fact is i don't need it and would like to pick up another power instead of it, something that'd fit the concept of Night Widow better, something i'd get more mileage out of, if you will.
But my dilemma is that how.. upset would potential teammates be, should i join a team (i usually form my own teams, but there are times someone manages to send me an invite before i can form anything) and not have the power?
Should i be expecting a /kick (extreme cases) or would anyone even notice that i lacked the power?
If you were on my team, I'd personally frown at my monitor, maybe shake my head a little, and then just get on with the mission. -

Quote:Somewhat true, but this doesn't change the fact some people are really awefull players, even after several years of gaming. You don't have to fail a mission or even struggle badly to get annoyed by the incompetence of some people. And I don't mean inexperience or semi-effective thematic builds (have enough of those myself), but simple incompetence, usually caused or at least enhanced by peoples' thick headedness and inability to take friendly advice, or in the case of some TF/SF's, refusal to follow orders.Originally Posted by Emberly
Complaining about PuG members lack of skill ruining a team is kind of like blaming the goalie for losing the hockey game. I've never been on a team where I could legitimately say that one or two people were so incompetent that we all failed as a result. People should keep in mind that on a PuG team, everyone is a PuG team member and the team's success or failure doesn't rest on the shoulders of one scapegoat who didn't take the powers you wanted them to take.

Quote:You know when it's difficult to decide which one is the strongest it usually really doesn't matter which one you bring, especially in this game, where just about anything is usefull.Originally Posted by Rigel_Kent
Fair warning: We don't typically use the word "healer" in advanced gameplay or build discussions. "Emp" will do just fine.
Defender's not a bad pick. Your self-heal (Healing Aura) will be beefier, and your Fortitude will buff damage better (redirecting aggro away from you a little better).
Still, overall, a level 50 to level 50 comparison will almost always favor controllers over defenders. More damage, more utility, and enough buff/debuff that the difference doesn't matter. There are exceptions, but empathy is not one of them.
GR will shake things up a bit. Whether to bring a controller or a mastermind on an MoSTF, now there's a tough question! Maybe wait a couple weeks before committing to anything?
So just go with what you like. Defenders and controllers are always wanted on TF, especially empaths. Just don't forget you can do other things than heal. -
Quote:Caesar = KY-zar (as in Kyle) in (old) Latin, without throwing funny accents in the mixOriginally Posted by Gearsinger
Odd. My college Latin prof pronounced Caesar CHAY-zar. Does anyone know the modern Italian pronunciation? That may be the explanation, as he was a native of Italy.
I've always pronounce Praetorian as pray-TOR-ee-an.
So I vote Pry-toria. -
Quote:Isn't there also a slider in mids (in the power info window iirc) that lets you set the amount of times rage is stacked? Maybe that's set at 2 or something.Originally Posted by Fomsie
Do you by chance have a Gaussian's Sync Fire Control: Chance for Build Up IO in an active power on the Tank? If so, it will show in Mids as always being "procced". That could be what is showing the extra 80% damage.

Quote:Use your imagination and pretend that's the way it works.Originally Posted by DSorrow
What if the OP wants to have a character who doesn't turn invisible, but rather blends into crowds to allow "stealth"? I would like to have this ability, because the lack of it is one of the reasons I pretty much never play characters with stealth or invisibility.

Quote:Nice solutions...Originally Posted by ChaosExMachina
Solutions:
1. Add a way to unlock PPPs as a hero.
2. Add clone pools that are just like PPPs except cosmetically: elec, dark, water, tools (could be what they are doing).
3. Convert PPPs to clones and implement the PPP as optional power customization, after pool customization is added.
What is the problem exactly? -
CoH is the only game were I install a patch without knowing what's in it. It annoys the heck out of me. I like to know what exactly changed up front so I know if it has any effect on my characters, I also like to check out any changes as soon as I log in, to see if they're working as intended.
Huge issue? No.
Annoying as heck? Yes. -
Quote:Add to this that you can't start (the current) EATs in Praetoria, but you can switch sides whith hem.Originally Posted by Dr_Mechano
From what I've gathered from dev chats etc. is the following.
If you start in Paragon, you can only select the hero ATs, if you start in the Rogue Isles, you can only select the villain ATs but...
If you start in Praetoria you can select any of them and once you hit level 20 you get the chance to make a choice and go to either Paragon City OR the Rogue Isles with that AT.
Now for higher levels you have to do your alignment altering missions, with one step per week (so hero to vigilante one week and then vigilante to villain the next week) as mentioned by Positron on the EU Q&A on test. -
Quote:Yea, that's working as intended.Originally Posted by Aleusha
I haven't read all of the posts yet (except on this last page) but has anyone else gotten turned into a Rikti Monkey from hitting Secondary Mutation? I laughed so hard when this popped up, that it got me killed by a gang of Carnies. I didn't care, but it went away before I could stop laughing and screen it. There were no witnesses, and I haven't gotten it to do it again since then.
It said I got a temp power and that it was called Devolution.
If that was a secret bonus, then it was done very well.

Quote:Erh, that's what they said will happen?Originally Posted by Shadow Wail
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that heroes that go bad should just keep their APP's and let villains that turn good keep their PPP's AND get APP's.
Its bout time villains get a lil extra? Our PPP's suck...
